Canon G2411 compatible ink (6,000 pages): installation and savings guide

If you have a Canon PIXMA refillable tank-system printer (G series), you'll know the consumable isn't a classic cartridge but an ink bottle that fills the internal reservoir. Our bottle compatible with the Canon code G2411 delivers a yield of up to 6,000 pages and is manufactured to the ISO 9001 quality standard.

What it is and which printers it fits

It is a compatible ink bottle (not a Canon original) formulated for MegaTank continuous-refill systems. It fits these models:

• Canon PIXMA G1400, G1410, G1411
• Canon PIXMA G2400, G2410, G2411
• Canon PIXMA G3400, G3410, G3411
• Canon PIXMA G4400, G4410, G4411

Before buying, check the exact model on the front label of your printer. If you're unsure whether to choose original or compatible, we recommend reading our comparison test original vs. compatible printed side by side.

How to install it and what to do if something goes wrong

Unlike cartridges with a chip, PIXMA tank printers have no chip on the bottle: the ink is poured directly into the reservoir. Installation is straightforward:

• Open the lid of the ink reservoir for the relevant colour.
• Remove the bottle's cap and fit it into the tank's nozzle.
• Let the ink flow by gravity up to the maximum fill line. Do not squeeze the bottle.
• Close the reservoir cap and wipe away any residue.

As the system doesn't use a chip, the usual "cartridge not recognised" warning doesn't appear here, nor do you need to reset any chip counter. If the printer still shows a low level after refilling, run an ink counter reset from the printer's panel (hold down the Stop/Reset button for a few seconds, as indicated in your model's manual). If you notice lines or faded colours, run a printhead cleaning and check the result with a CMYK test page.

Yield and savings versus the original

Cost per page is the real argument for tank systems, and a compatible bottle reduces it even further. With a yield of up to 6,000 pages per bottle, the cost per printed sheet sits well below that of traditional cartridges. Compared with the original bottle, a compatible one of the same capacity cuts the outlay considerably while maintaining equivalent density and coverage on the document. If you want to work out your own case, we have a guide on the real cost of printing.
